FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How long does acne treatment take to work?+
The first results are usually seen 4 to 8 weeks after starting treatment. Full control may take 3 to 6 months, depending on the type and severity of the acne.
Is adult acne treated the same way as teenage acne?+
No. Adult acne, especially in women, often has a hormonal component that requires a different approach. Dr. Téllez evaluates each case individually.
Is isotretinoin (Accutane) treatment safe?+
Isotretinoin is the most effective treatment for severe acne. With proper follow-up by Dr. Téllez, it is safe. It requires regular check-ups and contraception for women of childbearing age.
